While u were in The Dam, did you get to the Big Club called 'Escape', how brill is That!!!
Was there 4 weeks ago on mi step-sons stag !!
Im of out for a drive now :-) cos I CAN
Heres hoping I cross the finish line with my mates at uni... and graduate with them in November! FINGERS CROSSD anyways :0)
It was a bit close though...still had a few minors but NO major falts this time round.... It was difficult going out on my own the 1st time though, really difficult tbh, our car is a who;e lot different to the one ive been learning in, and i need to be more rough with our car....but im getting the hang of it, ive only been out on my own a few times, ( about 4 i think) but I feel ok now compared to the day after i passed, i was so scared i stalled LOTS and didnt like to give it much welly, so kept stalling again and again lol BUT now im ok, ( as long as ex-poacher is not my paseger LOL) seems I loose it when he is beside me, but apparently im not alone there, lots of ladies ive spoke to say the same, as soon as there hubby is sat there beside them they loose all nerve and make silly mistakes.... awe well sun is out now so i might go for a run about again... im finding myself just popping to the shops for anything and nothing, just to get in the driver seat lol
I need to learnhow to put petrol in now though lol Im ok about paying for it its the actual putting it in im not sure about, well they dont teach you that when your a learner.....
hope you had a great easter bank holiday and enjoy the upcoming BH weekend too
Catch ya again soon

My hubby advised me the same,... I do seem to make many errors though when I have someone as a passenger, BUT I reckon thats just cos I wanna show I can actually drive well.... BUT s0ds law, thats when I stall, or panick....lol.... BUT yeah, your all right, I am still learning to drive, and I always will be, I hear my hubby saying the same too, he is always faced with new situations on the road and needs to adapt to each one seperatly... I hope to be as confident as I see him being one day though... Im sure it will happen, just gotta keep practicing.
Thanks again for the congratz
Much appreciated
Smiler
Hi Trish,...
I am gathering confidence each time i go out on my own in the car, I just need to keep hold of it when my other half gets into the passenger seat.... I am sure it will come eventually, :-)
I been out a lot more lately, and feel ok about it too, only 1 thng I dislike is when I am at uni all day and half the night,... reading, studying and getting tired... THEN driving home... I realy dislike this feeling... So Now I decided to start leaving the library a little earlier to avoid the dread of driving home, OR study from home instead.... ( I Must say I do prefer that anyway)
It dawned on me today, I have only asked for ONE lift since I passed my test.... nearly 2 weeks ago now too... I USED to get a LIFT to uni, work, town, shops ANYWHERE and everywhere, but now its as easy as "nipping to shops" and feeling ok about doing so aswell.....
Poor hubby must worry thuogh, I still have a tendency to ring him to let him know i arrived ok , I didnt think about it till a few days ago, he must DREAD the phone ringing when I have the car... So now its a case of no news is good news...
Right I best get thisuni work finished, only one more essay and my degree is O V E R !!! Thank goodness
I will pop back and check on here for any updated comments etc, and as always i will add to this "learning the roads as a newby post.. :-)
Take care and talk soon
Smiler aka Debbie
